At 6′ 5″ our Africa trip planner, Dan Achber, is a giant among men. But it’s his prowess as a planner of safaris and journeys in sub-Saharan Africa that really measures large. We’ve held him in high regard for years and were thrilled to learn yesterday that Travel & Leisure magazine now does too. In the upcoming October issue (on the stands now) of Travel & Leisure, they’ve included Dan on The A-List of top travel agents, one of only 161 trip planners worldwide (and one of only three based in Canada) to make the cut. Hot stuff.

Okay, so you’ve heard it from the Pig’s mouth and from the pages of a top travel magazine, but what matters most to Trufflepig is what our clients have to say about our planners. Below are some comments from a family who returned home a few days ago, from a safari that Dan planned for them.

“The trip exceeded our wildest expectations and we can honestly say that this was our best vacation ever, and that’s saying something as we have travelled extensively. We would like to thank you for the way you set up the trip. As the trip progressed so did the enjoyment of our adventure. Once again thank you for putting together a package that so completely addressed what we were looking.”

Enough said.
